OK here's the long and short of it.... nut job BM is refusing to sign an IRS form to find out where DH's 2002 tax refund is. IRS asked us to write letter of explanation about the inquiry and her refusal to sign the papers. I want to say something to the effect that she's fraudulently retained the entire refund, i.e. forged his signature and kept $5000. How do I say she's an idiot without actually putting that into the text, while also drawing as much attention to her as possible. The IRS really doesn't like it when people lie to them right Smile

She tried to sue him for tax monies she feels entitled to. When we asked about the 2002 refund money, she quickly took that off the bargaining table in court. So we called to get a tracer put on the refund check, but a tracer requires her signature (joint return). She said she called the IRS and they told her their records don't go back that far, then they told her that if she forged his name to the check, she would be liable to return that money and face some serious jail time. Hence... her refusal to sign the paperwork to find out where the refund is. So... I need help wording, phrasing this with nasty inuendos and drawing attention to her evil ways. Any ideas?

Its.Lovely... Hmmmm -

To Whom It May Concern:

Please allow this letter to serve as a formal request for the tracking of the 2002 Tax Return for (DH Name), Social Security Number (xxx-xx-xxxx).

We believe that a refund may have been issued, and the check cashed without the knowledge of (DH Name). We are looking into this money to determine whether the refund has been fraudulently retained by another party. Unfortunately, we have been informed that since the return was a joint return, we would need both DH and BM's (BM SS#) signature to complete the trace. DH is willing to sign the request, BM is not. However, we still would like this refund tracked.

This is now a serious concern. If BM did retain the full refund, we are willing to work with her to sort out that particular issue. However, if BM did NOT retain the refund then we need to be able to track down where those monies went. As it is, there are court negotiations where that refund is being taken into consideration. A true accounting of that money would be very helpful in settling some outstanding legal issues.

What do we need to do in order to follow procedure and obtain this information?

Thank you for your time and consideration. We are hoping to have this matter resolved quickly.

Sincerely...

???

You said you are in court over this and other financial matters. Forget begging the IRS its a waste of time.

The court can order her to sign or face penalties.

Ok, wrote the letter, very similar to Stick's. Now we wait. The courts didn't even look at the 2002 taxes, she took that off the table when she realized she really messed up. Here's where we are... she took one year of taxes, forged his name, but doesn't remember which year. She's scared to death. Should be interesting.

As a former IRS employee..... I will say they do have access to the records... hopefully both sides (BM and DH) don't have other issues... cause once this investigation is started IRS usually will pull up to 7 years of records to verify check into and the like.

AT any rate i hope it all works out and she is made to pay the monies DH is entitled to.

IRS loves it when "red flags" are thrown cause a lot of times it equals more money/revenue for them...... BM better be careful..

********She doesn't have to love me or even like me - it doesn't change a dang thing..... So get over it and move on BM!************
